Technical Abstract

The disclosure pertains to a method for operating a user equipment in a radio access network. The method includes measuring first synchronisation signaling associated to a first cell of the radio access network, wherein for measuring a set of parametrisations of the first synchronisation signaling is utilised, in which the set of parametrisations is determined based on a signaling parametrisation of second synchronisation signaling associated to a second cell of the radio access network, and further based on a mapping of the signaling parametrization to the first set of parametrisations. The disclosure also pertains to related methods and devices.
